Coming Attraction: Two and Twenty Dark Tales

Today's Coming Attraction is a short story anthology based on Mother Goose; there are a number of authors contributing whose works I've been wanting to try, so I think this is definitely going on the to-get list...

Nursery rhymes sung sweetly can take us back to childhood. But deep inside many of those childhood favorites is… a hint of something dark. TWO AND TWENTY DARK TALES: Dark Retellings of Mother Goose Rhymes imagines dark and sinister things amuck in Mother Goose-land.
